I know that the Shrek ride at Orlando has just opened, but I was wondering if anyone has been to both of the Shrek attractions yet. I live near the one here in Hollywood, and I had a chance to visit Florida's Universal a few years ago and was amazed at how much more grander everything was over there. I'm getting more and more frustrated at how the parks here in So Cal keep getting shortchanged as opposed to their Florida counterparts( I'm also including the Disney parks in my vent) I guess it's because I've now been able to visit the Florida parks that I've become spoiled and want the same for California. Anyways, just wondering if anyone can give me the lowdown on the two attractions.:D
 
They're supposed to be the exact same in every manner. I've only been on the FL one, though.
 
I've been to both USH and USF. I went to Shrek for the USH Annual Pass Preview and to the one here. (They let me into shrek with the Florida AP, but I still had to pay admission (although I went to guest services at USH and they did give me a 30% discount on admission-- I don't know if that's normal or not)

The show itself is identical, only the size and shape of the buildings are different. The preshow room in Hollywood is much wider than in Orlando. The mirror is on the far right, and the pigs are on the left in Hollywood. It's actually a lot easier to see all the preshow in Orlando.

This is the USH Preshow area... the mirror is to the right of the main screen. Unfortunately I don't have one of Orlando right now, but Orlando's is much more bunched together and the mirror is on the left.

The theater itself is larger in Hollywood, but not all that much. There is more open space at the edges of the room than in Orlando. That said, the wall effects seemed to work a lot better in Orlando.

The other difference is the Queue area, it lacks many of the signs that are in Orlando, except for one huge "Welcome to Duloc" -- Happiest totalitarian dictatorship on earth (well second happiest). This particular dig at Disney is missing here in Orlando, but there are plenty others to make up for that.

If you plan to get express passes to Shrek, get them early. They are going super fast right now.

Not true. They have it in the preshow room, it's just not a giant sign. I saw it and laughed. :)
